"Basement Remodeling just completed our basement remodeling project, on time and on budget. We couldn’t be more pleased! We investigated other remodeling companies but chose Basement Remodeling after our discussions with Eric, in part because we believed we could count on their expertise in handling the inevitable quirks of renovating a 70 year old house. Our project (and budget) was probably fairly modest when compared to many remodeling projects, and Eric offered suggestions for inexpensive problem solving (rehanging existing doors, for example) rather than trying to upsell us on other, more costly solutions. We fully renovated about one-third of the basement space which included the furnace, water heater and a small but completely unfinished laundry area. Basement Remodeling created an enclosed area for the furnace and water heater and neatly disguised the electric panel, adding a well-designed, efficient and attractive wet bar with cabinetry, appliances and a custom pantry. The renovation also included cosmetic upgrades to the rest of the basement space, adding new flooring and fresh paint. The space now looks absolutely terrific! The company took care of everything, from permitting to cleanup, and every person on the team was thoughtful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. Any concerns we had along the way were addressed immediately and quickly resolved to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Basement Remodeling!"

They did an outstanding job from conception through to the last details in finishing an extensive series of renovations - complete kitchen tear-down and renovation, master bathroom and closet teardown and renovation, two bathroom complete retiling/renovation, building two new rooms out of a very large basement, and replacing two forced air HVAC systems - they managed all aspects including proper construction permits. They did high-quality work at a very good price. They did an outstanding job with the work, with high attention to detail. Their communication was very strong from beginning to finish, their initial plan recommendations were excellent, they made several recommendations to not only make the job better, but also make it more cost effective along the way. They were reliable and consistent, and very genuine, "real" people. I have to imagine there will be very high demand for their services. I can’t recommend highly enough. Very timely, excellent communication, quick and high-quality professional work at a competitive price."

"This company went above and beyond for my wife and me. We wanted a balcony with steps but we had an HOA to go through.

His two workers showed up each day even on the weekend to get the job finished in a timely manner. The 2 man crew did a phenomenal job with keeping my lawn as nice as they could and even replaced the dirt and bricks they had to dig up for the posts.

A garage apartment represents a valuable addition to your property when properly constructed according to local regulations. The potential benefits include additional living space for family members, rental income possibilities, and increased property value.
Your specific return depends on local housing market conditions, construction quality, and ongoing maintenance. Consider consulting with a real estate professional regarding potential returns in your neighborhood.
Building a garage apartment requires multiple permits, with basic residential garage permits starting at $74 in most locations. You'll need separate approvals for structural elements, electrical systems, plumbing installations, and mechanical components.
Many jurisdictions also require specific approval for accessory dwelling units. Contact your local building department early in your planning process to understand all requirements and associated costs.
Converting an existing garage into living space presents an alternative to new construction. The feasibility depends on your garage's structural condition, foundation type, and local zoning regulations. Key considerations include insulation requirements, utility connections, and moisture control. Research local codes thoroughly, as many municipalities have specific requirements for garage conversions.
